    Federal priorities for Western Australia April 2013 Keeping Western Australians on the move. Federal priorities for Western Australia Western Australia’s rapid population growth coupled with its strongly performing economy is creating significant challenges and pressures for the State and its people. Nowhere is this more obvious than on the State’s road and public transport networks. Kununurra In March 2013 the RAC released its modelling of projected growth in motor vehicle registrations which revealed that an additional one million motorised vehicles could be on Western Australia’s roads by the end of this decade.

  • Project Brief
    Project Brief Project Title Secrets of the Sunset Coast - tentative Background and Market Overview The Sunset Coast stretches for approximately 60 km from north to south and includes the very popular locations of Cottesloe, Scarborough, Trigg, Hillarys Boat Harbour, Mullaloo, Mindarie and the many other beaches in between. These locations are amongst the most recognisable destinations of Western Australia and dominate the Tourism Western Australia publicity. Each year the region has attracted significant numbers of intrastate, interstate and international visitors, including Visiting Friends and Relatives (VFR), holiday makers, students and backpackers. The region satisfies the complete beach and coastal expectations, including family and child friendly beaches, surfing, kite surfing, diving, sailing, fishing, restaurants and bars. However, the current travel restrictions prevent all international visitors coming to Western Australia. Accordingly, the tourism and visitor market is made up solely of interstate and intrastate visitors. Operators are facing significant challenges with competition from alternative destinations. There is a structural change occurring across the sector and the Sunset Coast needs to reposition itself to achieve stronger engagement from domestic visitors. Across the region away from the coastal strip there are many unique activities and attractions which have always catered specifically for the local market, for Australians. There are excellent walks in Bold Park, there are interesting artist workshops, there are makers collectives, indigenous tours, micro breweries, local musicians. However, the dominance of the coastal operators and imagery has overshadowed these hidden gems that exist in close proximity to the coast. There is an opportunity to engage many of these operators, activities and sights to present a new side, a more creative, genuine, relatable destination which will immediately resonate with domestic visitors.

  • Proposal for the Creation of a Regional Park on the Northern Limits of Perth City
    Proposal for the creation of a regional park on the northern limits of Perth City Friends of Moore River Estuary (FOMRE) 1 June 2019 1 Overview It is proposed that a new park be formed encompassing the area between the northern limits of Perth’s urban development at Two Rocks and the south bank of the Moore River estuary, bounded to the west by the Indian Ocean and to the east by Indian Ocean Drive. The proposed park forms part of the traditional lands of the Yued people. This proposal summarises some of the potential outcomes that would arise following consolidation of the existing reserves, Unallocated Crown Land and the small parcel of currently undeveloped private land into a single park. The land in question is unique in its proximity to the limits of metropolitan Perth to the south and the Moore River estuary to the north. The land contains a number of threatened ecological subcommunities (TECs) of the Swan Coastal Plain and includes portions of the Gnangara, Gingin and Yanchep Groundwater Management areas. As urban areas have expanded on the Swan Coastal Plain, a great deal of biodiversity has been lost (Hill et al. 1996). The unification of this area into a single park would have multiple benefits for protecting the remaining biodiversity as well as enhancing opportunities for nature-based cultural and recreational tourism. It could also create employment opportunities through the Indigenous Ranger Program. The proposed park will complement Yanchep National Park, Neerabup Regional Park, Neerabup Nature Reserve and the regionally significant remnant bushland identified under the Bush Forever program (Government of Western Australia 2000).
